      Smaller than the pictures

      Definitely smaller than the pictures shown. Ordered six of these with the rest of my plants. Received five plants and one bag of rotten slime. Only one rotten plant out of the twenty seven total, so not the worst thing that could have happened, but it was still a wasted five dollar bill.

      Expected More Plants

      The cryptocoryne parva was green and packaged well. Although the description said bag or cup, the bags I received did not have as many plants as would be expected. Probably more plants in a 2.5 X 2.5 cup. Pleased with the plants I did receive.

      fresh cut plants

      Got the cut stem version and they are adapting well and growing pinkish tips already. Fresh aquasoil so plenty of ammonia in the new tank, other plants like tissue culture are melting a bit and adapting very slowly but these plants are the real stars of the bunch. After 1 week all stems have new healthy growth and multiple new shoots off almost every node. Absolute weed! Can't wait for their first trimming, expect a thick bush very soon.

      Absolutely stunning addition to my tank!

      I purchased 3 of these and so far they have not disappointed. In fact, they have all taken off so well.

      Great plant but did not know it can not be grown under water.

      I bought it thinking it could be grown underwater but needs to just be emersed. My fault really not doing the research but would appreciate a disclaimer.

      Very nice plant with great root system. Not just a stem clipping. Would definitely trust this seller with a larger order in the future.

      Healthy

      Plants arrived super quickly and appeared healthy. They were well packaged. They are in the tank now getting acclimated. Even after only three days, there is already a new leaf sprouting. I’d buy from APF again.
